Asian IT Industry Leader Pursues NZ Contracts

Information Technology
systems, products and processes required by New Zealand
companies and government departments have attracted interest
from Asia’s largest software and services company, Tata
Consultancy Services (TCS in short).

TATA’s Regional
Manager for New Zealand, Sunit Sengupta, said today that
increasing co-operation between New Zealand and India in the
development of information communication systems had
encouraged his company to build up its presence in the
market.

“The recent discussions held on IT by the New
Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs in India and the
planned visit this week of the Indian IT Minister to
Wellington demonstrates top level commitment to increasing
business between the two countries.”

Sunit Sengupta said
that as a global company with more than 15,000 professionals
operating across 50 countries, TATA was well positioned to
make strategic alliances with New Zealand companies looking
to expand their business interests in India and
internationally.

“Our domain expertise in BFSI (banking,
financial services and insurance), telecom, manufacturing
and process industries, retail, transportation, healthcare,
utilities and extensive experience in end-to-end solutions
and products around the world will add further depth to the
range of international firms represented in the market
here.”

He said TATA pioneered the concept of Global
Delivery Centres. These involved the establishment of IT
business centres in overseas markets blending local
expertise with Indian specialists to service both domestic
and international contracts.

“We see Wellington as a
potential site for such a centre. The New Zealand
government is committed to e-business development and
Wellington is an attractive site for growing information
industry companies.

“We believe that as India’s premier
software exporter, with revenues consistently doubling every
two years, we can contribute to IT business growth in New
Zealand with accompanying new jobs and export success.” –
